In doing some new research on FM, I found that there is a Fibromyalgia Awareness Day. I have had FM for almost 9 years and never new that there was a day of awareness. May 12 is the official day and is designed to increase awareness and understanding of fibromyalgia—a chronic pain disorder that affects 3 to 6 percent of the world population.
Wow, who would have thought? I have my own special day (besides my birthday). Maybe I will celebrate this day every year with a massage??? I will have to see if Arizona does anything special for this day. Since FM is so very hard to understand since you can't "see it," I think more awareness is needed.
So next May 12th who wants to join me for a day of awareness and a massage???

I knew this. Actually stumbled upon the information one day. I will gladly join you for a day of awareness!!!!
Question for you? Have you always lived in Arizona? My Dr suggested that type of climate for me. I have arthritis along with the fibro.
I was born and raised in AZ and will probably we here for quite a while. My hubby and I would love to move somewhere with cooler temps and with actual seasons, but we'll see what happens. I do question if my body would be able to adjust to cold or rain or something different. But that is something I'll have to keep in mind if we ever do leave AZ.
Where do you live?
I am in nothern New York and the weather changes are rough. Winter is awful. I just moved further north last year and my Dr told me I was moving the wrong direction lol.
